We are the only country in Europe with this sort of archaic attitude, and hey presto we are the only country in Europe that has such poorly behaved youngsters around our city centres, pissed out their heads.
Well who took them out like Italian or French kids are, educating them on how to behave, eat and drink whilst in public. There is a time and a place when kids aren't really to be there, but I personally try and take my young boys into as many bars and pubs as I can.
"What polite and considerate boys you have" I proudly hear, yes and it's because I've spent time setting a good example to them, and much of it is in public bars etc.
